    When I'm in Copenhagen with a day to spare I usually go work in Copenhagen Main Library, and as far as I can see I'm far from the only one.

    The Workers' Museum has a good reading room! In addition, Cafe Kabys on Nansensgade is exceptionally cozy and relatively quiet until around 3 pm.

    Upstairs is great there and there is a lot of other working on laptop there. I have used this place everytime I have meeting in inner city and want to do some work before meetings.

  2. Ricco's Kaffebar

    Café, Sluseholmen

    WI-FI, Press recommended

    , work score 100
    Quite possibly the best cafe-cum-workplace in town, Ricco’s is where you’ll find a local crowd tapping on laptops and sipping copious cups of coffee. ... there are numerous small tables where you can set up a workstation - or make yourself at home on the cognac sofas.

    The Royal Library’s reading rooms are a great choice for deep-dive work in peace and quiet, while the open study area, where conversations are allowed, is a good place to work with others.
